Genome sequence of Staphylococcus capitis QN1, which causes infective endocarditis

J Bacteriol. 2012 Aug;194(16):4469-70. doi: 10.1128/JB.00827-12.

Abstract

Staphylococcus capitis is a subtype of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) which could emerge as a significant pathogen causing infective endocarditis, prosthetic valve endocarditis, and late-onset sepsis. We isolated S. capitis strain QN1 from the skin swab sample of a female. Here we prepared a genome sequence for this strain consisting of 30 contigs totaling 2,430,101 bases and a GC content of 32.76%.
